			 Hi there, 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I found a crab last night in the tank and was wondering if anyone could ID for me. Thought maybe it was a emerald crab but not sure if its possible for them to have red eyes? Thanks for the help. Last edited by Oxymoron; 05-19-2009 at 08:04 AM.  |

			 Looks like some sort of Xanthid...generally not reef safe. Red eyes =

			 Definitely bad, I have one too but he now lives in my sump. Like Drew said red eyes = bad and so does big claws. That type of crab has both.
